Please pray for the Bennett/Bethel family of Roseland as they have a memorial service for “Miss” Elizabeth this afternoon. I have many memories, but two that stand out are how hard she worked at raising her five children seven and under after her husband’s death and how faithfully she had them all in church.

Fifteen Things God Won’t Ask

13. God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbors.

14 God won’t ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character.

15. God won’t ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t.
